Benefit evening in Schwandorf: Integration as the key to the future!

The charity evening, which took place in the “House of Encounter Metropol” in Schwandorf, was a real highlight for everyone who is committed to integration in the region. Organized by the Integration Schwandorf sponsoring association under the motto “Shaping integration – opportunities for our region”, the event attracted numerous representatives from politics, business and voluntary work. The guests included large employers such as F.EE, Horsch, Nabaltec, EMZ-Hanauer and Quadrus, as well as service clubs such as Rotary, Lions and Round Table.

Mayor Richard Reischl from Hebertshausen reported on his experiences with a large accommodation for refugees and emphasized the importance of clear structures in volunteer work. Martin Birner, Mayor of Neunburg, shared positive experiences with international company employees and refugees who have already made valuable contributions to the community.

Diversity of projects

Integration Schwandorf's projects were also an important topic that evening.

The evening is described as a clear signal for the region and signals that the Integration Schwandorf team is not alone.

The highlight of the event was the premiere of a new film that provided information about the association's donation-financed projects.

In mathematics, the principle of integration is known for combining parts into a whole. That is exactly what is happening here: we need to bring together the parts of our society that are often separated or isolated. Finally, integration can also be viewed as a type of mathematics where, as in the world of numbers, the whole is often greater than the sum of its parts. Regardless of whether in political discussions or in everyday interactions – it is important to promote dialogue and build bridges.
